Did the Cooked-Up Steele Dossier Trigger the Entire Russia Probe?
Here's another question that needs answering: Did James Clapper leak word of the Comey briefing about the dossier to CNN? And did he advise Comey to give that briefing so that he could leak the news of the briefing to CNN, and thus manufacture newsworthiness of a dossier that the media wasn't able to verify and publish about?
The FBI opened a counterintelligence investigation into the Trump-Russia affair shortly after receiving the first installment of an anti-Trump dossier from a former British spy working for the Hillary Clinton campaign. What congressional investigators want to know is whether that was a coincidence or not. The first report in the dossier compiled by former MI6 agent Christopher Steele was dated June 20, 2016.Also see Kim Strassel on this point. She also disproves the media/Hillary Clinton narrative (so hard to tell them apart) that the Steele dossier wasn't a media/political hit operation because the dossier didn't come out until after the election. Well, they certainly tried. Steele briefed David Corn personally, and Hillary pushed the idea of Russian "collusion" before the November 8th vote.
Steele told the left-leaning publication Mother Jones that he took the first part of his dossier to the FBI "near the start of July." James Comey, when he was FBI director, told members of the House Intelligence Committee the Trump-Russia investigation began "in late July." So the timeline is: The first dossier report was June 20, Steele approached the FBI near the start of July, and the FBI began its investigation in late July. Steele's first dossier installment, the June 20 document, cited a "senior Russian Foreign Ministry figure" and a "former top level Russian intelligence officer still active inside the Kremlin." It reported that "Russian authorities had been cultivating and supporting US Republican presidential candidate, Donald TRUMP for at least 5 years" and that "the TRUMP operation was both supported and directed by Russian President Vladimir PUTIN." Also citing a "senior Russian financial official" and a "close associate of TRUMP who had organized and managed his recent trips to Moscow," the dossier said Russians had been feeding Trump "valuable intelligence" on Clinton "for several years." The report also said "TRUMP's (perverted) conduct in Moscow included hiring the presidential suite of the Ritz Carlton hotel, where he knew President and Mrs. OBAMA (whom he hated) had stayed on one of their official trips to Russia, and defiling the bed where they had slept by employing a number of prostitutes to perform a 'golden showers' (urination) show in front of him." The action was all captured by hidden cameras, the dossier said. The FBI was very interested in Steele's report, according to Mother Jones' David Corn, who was personally briefed by Steele...
And of course that last part may be true -- the Steele document may have in fact been used as a pretext by Comey to begin an investigation. Oddly, the FBI refuses to tell the public the truth on this point. They just refuse to answer. Like law enforcement agencies accountable to the public are supposed to refuse.
The dossier amounts to one of the dirtiest tricks in U.S. political history. It was perpetrated by Team Clinton and yielded a vast payoff for Hillary’s campaign. The Democratic National Committee and the Clinton campaign hired the opposition-research firm Fusion GPS in April 2016 to dig up dirt on Donald Trump. Fusion in turn hired former U.K. spook Christopher Steele to assemble the (now largely discredited) dossier. That full dossier of allegations wasn't made public until after the election, in January 2017. And the media and Democrats continue to peddle the line that it played no role during the election itself.... This is utterly untrue. In British court documents Mr. Steele has acknowledged he briefed U.S. reporters about the dossier in September 2016. Those briefed included journalists from the New York Times , the Washington Post, Yahoo News and others. Mr. Steele, by his own admission (in an interview with Mother Jones), also gave his dossier in July 2016 to the FBI. Among the dossier’s contents were allegations that in early July 2016 Carter Page, sometimes described as a foreign-policy adviser to Candidate Trump, held a "secret" meeting with two high-ranking Russians connected to President Vladimir Putin. It even claimed these Russians offered to give Mr. Page a 19% share in Russia’s state oil company in return for a future President Trump lifting U.S. sanctions. This dossier allegation is ludicrous on its face. Mr. Page was at most a minor figure in the campaign and has testified under oath that he never met the two men in question or had such a conversation. Yet the press ran with it [pre-election]. The Clinton campaign jumped all over it, spinning its own oppo research as a government investigation into Mr. Trump... The Isikoff piece publicly launched the Trump-Russia collusion narrative--only 1½ months from the election-and the whole dossier operation counts as one of the greatest political stitch-ups of all time. Most campaigns content themselves with planting oppo research with media sources. The Clinton campaign commissioned a foreign ex-spy to gin up rumors, which made it to U.S. intelligence agencies, and then got reporters to cite it as government-sourced. Mrs. Clinton now dismisses the dossier as routine oppo research, ignoring that her operation specifically engineered the contents to be referred to throughout the campaign as "intelligence" or a "government investigation."

I want to know what grounds the FBI has to refuse to answer questions to Congress, the entity which has oversight of the FBI.
This is on Trump for not saying point blank any question the House oversight committee asks of the FBI will be answered in full about *any* investigation. Any person who refuses is fired on the spot.
I want confirmation that what we all suspect is true, namely, that the dossier is what was used to get the FISA warrant.

Politics and government and all this other stuff is not in his wheelhouse and I sure as hell don't want to take time discussing it when he visits. But it was funny to me that TD popped up in my head as the way to change the convo. But nothing else was working. That did. Makes me chuckle.

The accuser says she and her family did not report the sexual assault -- for 40 years -- because Moore was too powerful in their town, and they were afraid.
But Moore's bio says he graduated law school in 1977, and that he worked in the D.A.'s office as a prosecutor from 1977 - 1982.
In December of 1977, when the accuser says Moore attacked her, Moore would have just been a few months out of law school, and a brand new hire in the D.A.'s office.
So just how "powerful" could Moore have been?

For the purposes of this theory, "Deep State" is defined (loosely) as the mass and loose network of like-minded permanent and quasi-permanent personnel in the various Departments and agencies who, largely on autopilot, set and drive an agenda in tune with their own priorities and worldview.
I should make clear, for the record, that I do not consider this a coordinated "conspiracy" so much as an emergent culture of like-minded individuals.

That assumes organization beyond that of the various agencies. I would suspect, in this theoretical model, that the "projects" are initiated in agencies with the pull to do so under most circumstances, frequently with coordination with like-minded groups that share the same cultural mindset, but not in a formal manner.

Congress needs to reestablish its authority as a co-equal branch. I have been against the unitary executive theory of governance since at least George W. Bush and judicial supremacy has been a bugaboo of mine lo all these years I have been 29.
My autistic screeching about the administrative state is long and well screeched.
The House and the Senate are not show places where motley bags of loosely connected tissues make bellowing noises out of their maws while the civil servant class, the foreign service apparatchiks, and the ever so noble law enforcement and attorneys do the actual work.
The tripartite system of US governance depends on each branch guarding its power jealously. Congress has abdicated its power because the members do not want accountability. Well, when those allegedly accountable refuse to be so, how much more will the underlings also so refuse.
Bah. A pox on them all.

In December of 1977, when the accuser says Moore attacked her, Moore
would have just been a few months out of law school, and a brand new
hire in the D.A.'s office.
So....
....why did she ask him to sign it anyway? He obviously wasn't a local celebrity at that point...

I agree about this. This "Deep State", which I sometimes find myself thinking of as the "Dark State", is something even George Will & Bill Kristol have referred to...as a good thing and seemed to view themselves as part of it. Kind of like a shadow government that will bring down the legtimate govt. b/c they know better than the voters.
Very upsetting to me. Dangerous. And not patriotic...no matter how they have twisted it around in their own heads to justify it. It is traitorous.

According to her, Moore saw the girl's yearbook (she had brought it into the restaurant, where she worked as a waitress) and he asked her if he could sign it.
The Daily Mail article has a photo of his signature, which is dated 12/22/1977.
The ink on Moore's law school diploma would still have been wet on that date. So why was her family afraid to report the assault to the police? The police probably would not have even known who Moore was at that point, since he could not have been working in the D.A.'s office for more than a few months.

Much as the Deep State is kind of a prokaryotic colony of bureaucrat cells, there needs to be a better term than simple blackmail. I don't think threats are commonplace, I don't think explicit blackmail is that commonplace - it doesn't need to be. The passive blackmail of being advised by one and all that the intelligence community get their jollies fucking with anybody who rocks the boat: typically enough.
When you have shitheels in positions of power stating openly that Trump ought to not pick a fight with IC because they have the ability to know everything they want to know, that cat is out of that particular bag. A tad.

I do not have the emotional energy to spare to argue about Moore. Fine. Whatever. But spare me this whole he must be condemned or the Republicans will be tarred with him inanity. Republicans already are, no matter what is said. Pointing out Kennedy or Clinton or Menendez is whataboutism and I just give up.

Yes, that is what she said happened. He saw the yearbook, and asked her if he could sign it. She was flattered, and said yes.
But it's the date that is interesting. Moore was just out of law school. He graduated in 1977. He was a newby lawyer, and could only have been at the D.A.'s office for a few months. He wasn't, at that time, a major power in the town. He was a very green lawyer, just starting out.
Yet the woman claims her family was afraid to report the attack on her, because Moore was "too powerful" in the town.

It's a man who underwent a sex change to be a woman *and then* decided no, he's really a dragon. So he went about all sorts of body modification - tats, reducing his ears, etc. Warning: You can't unsee pics of him/her/it.

Among other things, he points out that the Founders assumed that rulers would be flawed; hence the careful balance of powers.
He contrasts that with the modern view of government, which sees good government in terms of the pure dominating the reprobates.

I have no idea, I just know that if my 16-year old girlfriend, daughter, sister had been violently sexually attacked by a man who had left bruises on her neck, I would have made damn sure he was either dead or in handcuffs at the police station the next day.
The woman says that she told her boyfriend and parents and siblings what Moore had done, but none of them came forward because he was just too powerful in their town, and they were afraid.
But how could a still-wet-behind-the-ears lawyer, who had only been working in the D.A.'s office a few months, be that powerful?

Posted by: Christopher R Taylor at November 13, 2017 05:39 PM (39g3+)
Exactly.
Here is what I was going to say earlier today but didn't want to further wall o'text.
I know a currently sitting Congressman. Not in the oh hey I know that guy because we went to the same gym years ago way, I mean in the way that I dealt with him professionally on a near daily basis for well over a decade.
I could spin a story about how he raped me, forcibly raped me, but I didn't want to report it because he and his family were very prominent in town and would destroy me. I could give dates and times and locations when I would have been alone with him. I could give the names of witnesses who would say that I greatly disliked working with him as I found him personally distastefully. I could even provide written copies of documents where I demanded that any meetings I were to have with him would have other people present. Every single word of that would be true except for the raping part.
I could do that. It would be *easy* to do that. It would take me minimal effort. The only thing that stops me from doing it is that it's wrong. It's wrong and disgusting and abhorrent.
But I know how easy it would be for me to do it. Which makes me highly skeptical of claims that oh there's this supporting evidence so it must be true. Mmmhmmm.

The double standards are stunning, and the fact it doesn't give people pause, and they just accept it all as normal, gives me little hope for logic to return. The mass hysteria since 2016, the Deep State, et.al., all feel like knives in what America was...has been...was supposed to be.
I must, as always, blame the media. They choose not to report honestly, not to give both sides, not to operate with integrity. They are no longer gatekeepers and searchers of truth. They are propagandists intent on damning the country to hell with their flagrant disregard for moral and ethical standards of truth. They are a disgrace.

She seems to like David nice crease Brooks, but AP/NPR etc, good box -- FOX Daily Caller, bad box.
Good news ... I've avoided confrontation with her before, but in response came out with a good presentation. Of course the thing is her friends get to chime in, glad to see some on "my side". I kinda feel the tides are turning on many fronts like this. I argued against globalism ... exposed the Russia/Trump thing ... but mostly ... tides may be turning. A big day for me with that bunch I'd almost given up on. She also is currently integral to a big farmer's market in a big city down there ... which has been my more interesting connection.
